Target

Although there were no detailed written descriptions, Zhou Tong understood!

Before his True Spirit Awakening, the Reincarnation Mirror had already used most of its remaining power to collect the "dust" of the strongest physiques on this planet and use it as a template to alter his body.

So-called "dust" referred to the matter left behind by those who had died on this planet, matter that had yet to dissipate!

"The strongest physique... Could I also be a Primordial Sacred Body!?"

A faint sense of anticipation inexplicably flashed through Zhou Tong's heart.

The strongest physiques in this Shrouding the Heavens World were none other than the Chaos Body, the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, and the Ten Fierce Bodies like that of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

Then there were the physiques of the second tier, just below those. There were many of them, such as the Primordial Sacred Body, Azure Heaven Hegemonic Blood, Sun Body, Lunar Body, Innate Dao Embryo, and so on.

Zhou Tong could not be sure about other physiques, but a Primordial Sacred Body had definitely died on Earth.

Ye Fan's previous life had been one!

"If I really am a Primordial Sacred Body, then that'll be troublesome... I'm not Ye Fan. I don't have a Great Emperor secretly acting as my protector. With my abilities, I can't possibly break that curse at the fourth secret realm!" Zhou Tong suddenly felt conflicted.

How had Ye Fan's curse been broken?

First, Hengyu the Great's Imperial Weapon had shattered most of the Dao Diagram's power. Then, a Saint Level Divine King had spent Essence Blood to erase what remained of the Dao Diagram. Finally, the Primordial Forbidden Land had provided an Immortal Divine Medicine.

If any one of those steps had been even slightly lacking, the curse that prevented cultivation could never have been broken.

"Can the Reincarnation Mirror help me withstand that Dao Diagram?" Zhou Tong thought once more of the only thing he could rely on now.

"Speaking of the Reincarnation Mirror, I remember that its energy can also let me see someone's previous life!" Zhou Tong suddenly recalled one of the Reincarnation Mirror's functions.

This one and only chance was an unimaginably valuable opportunity!

"If I use it on those sentient Emperor Corpses, I might get several ancient scriptures for free? No, those Emperor Corpses have already left Earth. I won't be able to see them anytime soon!" Zhou Tong shook his head, feeling somewhat regretful.

"If I use it on Ye Fan, I'll definitely see scenes from his previous life, but it's useless. Not long after Ye Fan's previous life was discovered by the Feathered Divine Dynasty, he was taken away to be blood-sacrificed to the Immortal Cauldron. There definitely won't be anything useful to obtain."

Zhou Tong kept thinking about whom he should use this crucial chance on while still on Earth.

The Reincarnation Mirror could only reveal the past lives of living beings. In other words, a dead corpse was useless unless it was a sentient corpse. But he did not know whether sentient corpses even had past lives, because Zhou Tong did not know whether the Reincarnation Mirror determined past lives by the physical body or the soul.

"This one and only chance is best saved for the most ancient existences..." Zhou Tong carefully considered it and roughly came to a decision.

The Sky Shrouding Method was the mainstream cultivation method of this world, but for Zhou Tong as he was now, it was not the best choice. That was because the Sky Shrouding Method had an extremely difficult hurdle during cultivation—activating the Wheel Sea!

Even in a place like the Big Dipper Star Domain, where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was abundant, fewer than one in ten people could activate their Wheel Sea, let alone on this Earth in the End of Dharma.

The original story barely mentioned this because, in the early stages, everyone associated with Ye Fan had their Wheel Seas activated by the Primordial Forbidden Land. But for many ordinary people lacking opportunities, this hurdle was an insurmountable chasm!

Zhou Tong could not help recalling the Tai Xuan Sect's disciple recruitment scene from the original story. The very first and simplest test only required the faintest ripple in one's Wheel Sea to pass, yet it eliminated ninety percent of those who came to become disciples. One could imagine just how difficult it was to get started with the Sky Shrouding Method.

"I'm on Earth, with no one to help me. Even if I obtain complete ancient scriptures, they're useless if I can't activate my Wheel Sea. I definitely won't be able to cultivate." Zhou Tong understood Earth's conditions well. Combined with his status as an unaffiliated cultivator, cultivating the Sky Shrouding Method was absolutely hopeless.

"I need the Chaotic Ancient Method to lay a foundation before I can activate my Wheel Sea!" Zhou Tong figured it out.

Creak!!

Just as Zhou Tong was thinking, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open, and two people walked in.

"Haha, Zhou Tong, I knew you'd definitely get up later than me!!" The taller of the two burst into laughter the moment he saw Zhou Tong sitting on his bed.

"Ye Zi, see? I told you this guy wasn't a match for the three of us!" As he spoke, the man looked toward the slightly shorter person beside him.

"Heh, Pang Bo, Ye Fan, the three of you were all knocked down by me, and you still have the nerve to come show off here? Just look at Li Changqing. He knows that three against one is disgraceful, so he was too embarrassed to come!" His train of thought interrupted, Zhou Tong shot the two a glance and fired back.

But after speaking, Zhou Tong froze slightly.

Because he could clearly sense that Ye Fan and Pang Bo were different.

"Past lives. This difference comes from their past lives!" Zhou Tong's heart stirred, and he immediately understood. "Ye Fan has a past life, but Pang Bo is an original who has no past life!"

As long as he connected with the Reincarnation Mirror, he could easily determine whether someone was an original or a reincarnated person.

"Knowing who has a past life is a pretty useful ability too. As long as I figure these things out, I definitely won't waste the Reincarnation Mirror's one remaining use!"

Having learned another piece of good news beneficial to himself and gained a little more confidence in controlling his future, Zhou Tong's mood brightened considerably.

Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo. "Let's not talk too much about yesterday. Four years of university are over just like that. Have you both found your next jobs?"

"I'm getting ready to go back to my hometown!" Pang Bo sighed softly. Their parting was imminent, and even someone as carefree as Pang Bo felt a little sad.

"I'm staying in this city to start my own business!" Ye Fan smiled faintly, looking very confident. Clearly, he had already prepared everything, and he could immediately begin the next stage of his career after graduation.

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan, secretly astonished.

Being able to completely plan out one's future work while still in university was not something an ordinary person could do.

Was this what one should expect of a future Heavenly Emperor?

"Come to think of it, you're the one in our class who needs to worry least about the future!" Pang Bo then looked at Zhou Tong. "I heard several teams want to recruit you. Playing basketball really is different from the rest of us. You just have to focus on playing well, without worrying about all the scheming and deceit in society."

"Basketball is fine as a hobby, but as a career, forget it!" Zhou Tong finally shook his head.

This time, Ye Fan was surprised as well. "Zhou Tong, have you really thought this through? With your physical ability, even if your skills are a little lacking, you'll still have great prospects in the future. You might even bring glory to the country. Are you really giving up such a good opportunity?"

Zhou Tong shook his head. He had not awakened before, but now, how could he fail to realize what was behind his physical ability? It had definitely been the Reincarnation Mirror's doing before his True Spirit Awakening!

Besides, since he had come to a world of cultivation like this, it would be too regrettable not to witness the vastness of the world.

Zhou Tong said, "I'm giving it up! I have a new pursuit!"

"Let's hear it!" Pang Bo was curious.

"It won't be interesting if I say it now. I'll tell you in a few years!" Zhou Tong smiled, got up from his bed, and slowly began packing his things.

Seeing that Zhou Tong did not look like he was joking, Pang Bo and Ye Fan exchanged a glance.

They sensibly did not say anything more.

Everyone had their own path. No matter what others said, it was useless.

"Then we won't say more. We'll be going now. See you again!!" Pang Bo and Ye Fan waved and left Zhou Tong's dormitory.

"The future..."

Zhou Tong took a deep breath. "Eternal life, I must attain eternal life! I refuse to believe that with a supreme treasure like the Reincarnation Mirror in my hands, I still can't achieve immortality!"

Zhou Tong had always been extremely competitive, both in his previous life and this one.

How could someone involved in sports not be competitive?

Watching others ascend to immortality and live forever, only for them to come back and step on your grave—enough to make even the dead rage back to life!
